Abstract Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 (CZTS) is considered a solar cell material alternative to CuInGaSe 2
(CIGS); they have almost the same performance; except for power conversion efficiency …

Cu–Zn cation disorder plays a vital and controversial role in kesterite CuZnSn (S1–x Se x) 4
solar cells. We demonstrate using density functional theory and nonadiabatic molecular …

The constraints over efficiency improvements in Cu 2 ZnSn (S, Se) 4 photovoltaic cells have
prompted the search for alternative replacements. The simultaneous incorporation of (Cu …

Using first-principles density functional calculations, we investigate the structure and
properties of previously unstudied grain boundaries (GBs) in the solar absorber material …

We report a time-domain ab initio investigation of the nonradiative electron–hole
recombination in quaternary Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) at different temperatures using a …

Semiconductor Cu2ZnSn (S x Se1–x) 4 (CZTSSe) solid solution is considered as a
